Max Holloway calls for Conor McGregor fight ‘at any weight’ for his comeback: ‘Sign me up’

Max Holloway wants to run it back with Conor McGregor. The former featherweight champion and current lightweight contender is awaiting his next assignment from the UFC following a lopsided loss to Charles Oliveira in a “BMF” title fight at UFC 326. Even before that fight happened, Holloway mentioned his interest in a rematch against McGregor, who has been teasing his return to action in 2026 following a five-year long absence from the sport while recovering from a devastating broken leg.

Holloway fell to McGregor via decision back in 2013 but well past a decade later, “Blessed” wants to test the Irish superstar again. “Before the fight, I was talking about it,” Holloway said about McGregor on his YouTube channel. “I mean Conor’s there, Conor got one over me.

He’s talking about coming back. I’m coming off a loss. It would look pretty fun to get that one back with him.

” The first fight happened at featherweight and both fighters actually suffered severe injuries during the three-round battle. Holloway was dealing with an ankle injury while McGregor blew his ACL, which obviously required surgery and a lengthy layoff afterwards. They never met again, although both McGregor and Holloway have expressed interest in a rematch.
